Summary

Nat and Linny are taking a deep dive into the murky mysterious waters of menopause. Why is it still such an unknown? And is there things we can learn from each other to make it less awful for the next generation of menopause sufferers? EDITOR NOTE - we've had messages saying that the idea of coming off "HRT to have the menopause" later, as per Linny's anecdote of a friend who's retired, isn't correct. Please seek out professional opinion on all aspects of the menopause, how it'll affect you, and the medication options - we're not experts!

0:00.0	You're all right, Lynn.
0:15.0	I'm good, yeah?
0:17.0	Yeah, very good.
0:18.0	Not too bad.
0:19.0	Welcome to Life with Nat, everyone. We hope we've had a lovely weekend. New week, new start. When this comes out, we would have been in Bristol. Yes. And I'm sure it would have been an absolutely fantastic time. Oh. As Leeds was on Sunday. Certainly was. Fantastic. We're just rocking and're rocking and rolling with the old life pod, so we're. It's been lovely, isn't it? It's been lovely because it's been so nice to actually have a bit of quality. We have quality time in the car for four hours, four and a half hour journey. Although Natalie sleeps through most of it, I'll hasten to add. And so does Roe Row. And so does Roe Roe. So, yeah, I'm talking to the cabby most of the time. No, really good. Amazing, brilliant. And if Bristol, yeah, it's the last one, isn't it? Until May. Yeah. And I'm sure that's going to be equal. Sold out? Yeah. That's ironic that the last one is completely sold out. It's very good.
1:10.9	Really good. May and I'm sure that's going to be sold out. Yeah, fantastic.
1:32.0	That's ironic that the last one is completely sold out. It's very good. And there's loads of pod squatters. Pod squatters coming. So yeah, it'd be good, really. I've loved them. I've so enjoyed it. I have as well. I really have. It's been really good fun. Really good. more's to the point. I'm really excited for May because we've got two very special one live pods coming, haven't we?

1:36.5	And I'm so excited that we're doing the grief pod.
1:37.5	I can't believe it.
1:43.3	I feel like it's something that I would have had on my bucket list and I've just done it prematurely.
1:45.9	Oh, so good that you feel that way. I do, I really do.
1:47.3	I just can't explain.
1:48.9	I just think the amount of messages we have when we do the grief pods and how desperate people are to share their loss, share their grief and talk about it.
2:00.3	Not in a down way, but just to say
2:02.7	how hard it is, how people are, how people grieve, that yeah, we just said, didn't we?
2:08.6	Oh, it would have been a travesty not to do it.
2:10.8	Please, it's May the 10th, it's Chelmsford Theatre in the studio, so very intimate.
2:16.7	And I don't want you to feel like, oh, I might not come because I might cry or I'm
2:22.5	like this.
